Biography

Byron Hurt attended Northeastern University as a quarterback, and founded God Bless the Child Productions before graduating with a degree in Journalism in 1993. Upon graduation he was hired by the university's Center for the Study of Sport in Society to help form the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program with the purpose of educating young men about gender and sexual violence. This experience led Hurt to produce and direct the documentary "I Am A Man: Black Masculinity in America". After noticing the repeated theme of machismo in numerous rap music videos, Hurt then set about creating "", an exploration of the pervasive issues of masculinity, sexism, violence and homophobia in hip-hop culture. Hurt is also the former associate director of the United States Marine Corps gender violence prevention program. On September 30 2006, Byron Hurt married Kenya Felice Crumel at their home in Plainfield, New Jersey.cite news | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/01/fashion/weddings/01crumel.html?ex=1317355200&en=e848c6b44c5458f3&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss | title=Kenya Crumel and Byron Hurt | work=The New York Times | date=2006-10-01 | accessdate=2008-03-07]
